East Village to East Nashville, 5 Years Later
Today marks 5 years since I left New York City for Nashville (aka the 7th borough). In those 5 years, I bought my first car, got married, adopted a dog, bought a house, had 2 kids, and gained 15 (okay, probably more like 20) pounds. I’m living the American dream, but I’m still not sure if I’m living my dream.
3 Ways My Nashville Life is Way Better than My NYC Life:
Target. I was a frequent shopper at the Astor Place Kmart, out of proximity and pure necessity. However, I never realized what my big-box shopping life was missing until I had easy access to Targets. Sure, there is a Target at the Atlantic Center in Brooklyn, but I never went there. I envisioned long lines, empty shelves, and rude people. I could get all that at Kmart without having to get on the subway.
